Alternative suggestion: RubySlang

I did already add the items to the German FAQ under the headline

comp.lang.ruby/ruby-talk slang

Are you sure you are not confusing abbreviations and acronyms? As a
rule of thumb (there *are* exceptions from this general rule like XP
for eXtreme Programming) acronyms are composed of initial letters of
words while abbreviations are simply shorthand.
